Baby don’t you worry now, no darling don’t cry—
Your daddy loves you, I’ll find work by and by

See if the bankers and bosses with the wealth they command
Would look down from their towers upon this hard land
With all of their power what them big boys could do
Could leave no child hungry and no man idle too
No child hungry and no man idle too

And if them politicians with their big speeches and words
Would talk to the people and act on what they heard
With all of their power what them fat cats could do
Could leave no child hungry and no man idle too
No child hungry and no man idle too

And if the prayers of all fathers were heard up above
We’d have bought us the right to some justice with our love
And with all of his power what a good Lord would do
Would leave no child hungry and no man idle too
No child hungry and no man idle too

So baby don’t worry now ‘cause though times are tough
Daddy loves you, I’ll find work soon enough
